Well I finally got PAN to work with my XP machine! I tried lots of things (WinXP-PPP connection, etc) so I\'m not sure of the exact thing that worked. However I think it was modifying the hcid.conf file to enable authentication and encryption (auth enable; encrypt enable; ). Now I am able to do intellisync over BT without any issues as well as FTP to my desktop. It now finds the device as \'zaurus\'.

Now my next task is to setup ICS so I can surf over BT through my PC...

I was not able to get PAN to work with my Powerbook, but I only gave it one try. But as in your case, I also was recognized by the Powerbook but would always get an error when trying to pair. I have not gotten around to running sdptool for PAN yet.

I had the bluetooth stuff all working well until I tried ejecting it. It wouldn\'t let me eject because it said it was busy. So, I had to take bluetooth down and then pull it. Afterward, I put my Ambicom WiFi card in and got that set up. Then I powered down... now the On/Off button will not turn it on. This is the same behavior I got when I installed the susp-resume-bluez package.

Obviously there\'s something about the changes I made to the /etc/apm.d/bluetooth script that\'s screwing things up. Perhaps later this week I\'ll be able to take a look. For now, until I\'ve got bluetooth running reliably, I\'m just going to use my Clie for work.

I\'d be interested in hearing about ICS... if you are successful, please let us know.

Yeah, I got the cannot eject error message as well so I just pulled it and that seemed to work (I got the card ejected message). I was then able to put in my Ambicom and it worked fine. My power button doesn\'t seem to have any issue (I have an 860). However, when I tried to pull the \"nicely\" using the Bluetooth stop command, my Ambicom WiFi wouldn\'t work afterwards until a reboot (there might of been a way to restart a service... but I don\'t know which one).

Now after my reboot, I get my original errors about timing out Actually, when I did have the PAN working I had the same error when I converted over to using ICS. Ahh, well its getting late so I\'ll take a fresh look at this tomorrow night.

I\'m sure the Cacko guys are well on their way to fixing issues with this card... give it a week or two and maybe by then this\'ll be solved.

While I\'m thinking of it, has anyone ever seen a bluetooth/wifi combo CF card? I hate having to carry the extra card with me all the time... I know I will eventually lose it.

I can report PAN working with WIDCOMM 1.4.2 Build 10 SP 4 on a win98se machine in our network, without any modification.
The Windows network settings need some attention, though.

ccrandal,
You ROCK! I\'ve been lurking for quite a while, and trying to get bluetooth to work between my 760 and my Erricson phone for a couple of weeks, and finally, your instructions worked. The only thing I had to do differently was at step 6, I had to re-boot the machine before the card would be recognized. Other than that, it worked great. I\'m posting from my 760 right now!

Thanks again... you were a great help!

Glad to hear it worked for you. It\'s a little easier with the Cacko Qt 1.21 ROM, although I\'m getting a couple new problems that I\'m not sure is related or not to bluetooth.

With the new ROM, I find I have to physically eject the card each time I come out of suspend. Trying to eject through the GUI doesn\'t work. Also, when connecting to my phone, it\'ll look as if it\'s connected once the bluetooth connection to the phone has been established, however it is still dialing, so it takes another minute for the internet connection to be established.

GRRR....

Ok... it WAS working... all of the sudden, for now apparent reason, my network connection now just hangs at \"Initializing Modem\"... I just have ATZ in the init string like I always had, and now it doesn\'t work...

Oh well..... back to the drawing board.

ccrandal · « **Reply #68 on:** April 12, 2004, 05:32:35 pm »

Pull the card out and reinsert it. If that doesn\'t work, go to the terminal and do a `cardctl resume` after pulling it out and then reinsert it. Hopefully, that\'ll work.
Also, upgrade to Cacko Qt ROM 1.21. It\'s handling of this BT card is better... although I still need to pull the card and reinsert it everytime I turn it on.

HTH,
Curt

The problem is that Socket G card has to be treated as a serial card, so bluetooth scripts don\'t apply. This may be the root of the problems.

piggity · « **Reply #70 on:** April 14, 2004, 07:43:54 pm »

Ok. Here is the problem I am having and reading through this I can seem to find what to do. I have a 860, Cacko 1.21 and the socket 2.5G card and have setup the rfcomm.conf, givepin and dial up connection (though the applet). I am using the drivers, applet, etc that comes in Cacko 1.21.

When I insert the card I can do a spdtool browse and it finds my T68i. But when I try to connect it just sits at Initializing Modem. Now I can use an Ambicom card with this same setup and everything works so it has to be something with the 2.5G card.

Is there any kind of work around to get this card to work? Is there something additional that needs to be setup for the 2.5G card?

Thanks

Pull the card and reinsert it. This always happens after coming out of suspend with this card.

piggity · « **Reply #72 on:** April 14, 2004, 09:17:22 pm »

ccrandal,

Yes I should have mention that. I can pull the card out and reinsert and it doesn\'t make a difference. One thing that I\'m not sure what it means is that when I reinsert the socket card it it pops up \"new card: serial modem\", but the network icon at the botton never comes up. Where the ambicom card does. Not sure if this is normal or not.

Are there any commands you can recommend I can run to make sure everything is ok?

Thanks for your help

tumnus · « **Reply #73 on:** April 15, 2004, 03:05:59 am »

How do you start the network connection if the network icon never appears? The Socket Rev G card currently needs to be recognised as a serial card due to the interface it uses.

piggity · « **Reply #74 on:** April 15, 2004, 07:00:14 pm »

I have to go to network, under setting and open it up. Then the network icon at the bottom will appear.

But I am now able to connect through my phone to internet. For some reason it needed a \"1\" in the rfcomm.conf file for channel. I used a \"4\" with the Ambicom card and thought it would be the same.

So I can now successful connect by pulling out the card, putting it back in, opening the network program and then connecting.

Thanks for all of you help and hopefully we can find a solution so it doesn\'t require some many steps.
